Surfside Beach
Family-friendly with a relaxed personality, Surfside blends beach access with quiet neighborhoods and a close-knit community feel.
Surfside Beach Real Estate Information
Surfside Beach — often called “The Family Beach” — is known for its quiet neighborhoods, wide sandy beaches, and welcoming small-town feel. With a rebuilt pier, walkable beach access points, local restaurants, parks, and community events, it’s the ideal spot for anyone who wants coastal living without the crowds. Everything here feels easy, friendly, and close to home.
Living in Surfside Beach
Surfside offers that classic beach-town energy without the noise. Golf carts zip down residential streets, neighbors wave from front porches, and afternoons are spent at the pier, the beach, or the local ice cream shops that feel like they’ve always been part of the community.
The town’s recently rebuilt pier is a local favorite, offering fishing, strolling, and some of the best sunrise views on the Strand. With plenty of public beach access points, local restaurants, parks, and a strong sense of safety and community, Surfside fits everyone from families and retirees to year-round coastal dreamers.
Outdoor lovers enjoy biking around town, visiting nearby parks, and quick access to Murrells Inlet, Myrtle Beach State Park, Garden City, and Market Common.
Homes & Communities
Surfside’s real estate includes adorable beach cottages, raised homes, quiet inland neighborhoods, condos, and golf-cart-friendly communities scattered throughout the town. Many homes sit just a short ride or walk from the beach, making it one of the most desirable areas for vacation rentals and full-time beach living alike.
Buyers love Surfside for its balance: beach access, community warmth, and a peaceful everyday rhythm you don’t always find in larger coastal towns.
